    Uh sorry, is there a good way to tell RAM usage on a different phone with more RAM? I didn't find any usage number in the settings. It's a ~50MB app. So at leat they didn't include as much bloat as other apps do... You can try it. It allows you do watch videos right away, without signing up.

    The Official App requires about 170MB RAM while watching a Video. Not sure about CPU usage but it seems light enough. NewPipe, the YouTube client, also allows you to browse PeerTube and is very light in my experience (RAM usage is about the same though)

    I don't understand the question; the Fediverse has nothing to do with apps. Apps are just frontends that access services. But you asked for a YouTube alternative, and for that, your phone's hardware is completely irrelevant.

    Or are you planning on installing a PeerTube instance on your phone?
